Speaker: Rev. David Howell |
At the 10:00 p.m. Candlelight Service, Pastor Dave spoke about how much darkness is in the world and in our lives. Why do we celebrate Christmas now, at the darkest time of the year? Christmas is a story about darkness and how God meets our needs in the midst of darkness. God sends light into the world, and that light shines in the darkness and the darkness will not overcome it. God responds to darkness by sending light, and we are called to do the same. | |

Associate Pastor Rev. Dr. Eileen Altman preached about Zechariah’s questioning of the angel Gabriel and subsequent nine months of contemplative silence during Elizabeth’s pregnancy with John the Baptist, followed by his beautiful Benedictus prophecy when the baby was born and he confirmed Elizabeth’s decision to name the child John. “We’re called to show others the way and nurture the next generation,” Pastor Eileen said. “Not just to be successful or comfortable, but to be a prophetic voice to lead then to the way of peace.” | |
